Message Groups

If a message on its own is not significant, but another message increases its significance, create a message group to associate these messages.

Note: The order in which the grouped messages occur is not important, as long as all arrive in the specified time interval.

Message group rules contain the following information:

The maximum time interval in which all messages in the group must be received, to trigger the rule
Message text for up to ten messages, on the Message Group Details panel (displayed automatically when a message is associated with a message group)
The text of a message to issue if the group rule is triggered, and where and how to display this message
The action or actions to perform when a group rule is triggered
User-defined EventView variables, which you can set to the specified values before or after other rule actions
